Evans, borough accountant, and Dr ReesDaries, medical officer of bealth. BILLS. When the bills were before the council for passing Mr Green suggested that in future the Borough Aecountant should give the total of the amount passed. The entire amount they wonld find to be a very formidable item. CRTTBLITT. A letter w- it read from Mr John Dairies, Talyboat, atating that on Tuesday afternoon last a bull was being driven through Lewis-terrace with one of its fore legs tigtbly tied to one of its horns, and he wrote with the intention of getting the council to do something to put a atop to beasts being driven through the streets in such torture. In the course of the eommunicatit-n Mr Davies said the beast became unmanageable, and knocked down an invalid besides doing other injury, which he attributed to ♦he cruelty. In reply to Mr Peter Jones, the Town Clerk re- marked that the council could not interfere with the matter, but the owners were answerable for any damage done by the beast. Aldermas James suggested that the Society for the Prevention of Oneltj to Animals should be made acquainted of the facts of the case. It was no doubt great cruelty to the animals to be tied in that way. A ball of that description should be brought into the town with three or four heads ef cattle, and then he Could be taken quietly. He would propose that Mr 3forris Davies,one cf the local honorary secretaries of the R.S.P.C.A., should be informed by the Town Clerk of the oocnrrenee Mr James alao suggested that they should direct the ait ntion of the Society to the way the fowls were treated at the station. They were tied by the legs and carried about with their heads down instead of being placed in the proper boxes. Mr John Morgan agreed with Mr James, as also did MrT. W Powell, and it was understood that Mr Hughes would communicate with Mr Morris Davies in the matter. INTERMEDIATE SCHOOLS. A communication was read from the Charity Com- missioners asking the Council to appoint two Soverners to act as County School managers for the istrict of Aberystwyth, under the proposed new Scheme. Alderman Peter Jones gave notice that he would move the appointment of two gentlemen at the next meeting. ALTERATIONS. At this juncture Mr Isaac Hopkins observed Alderman C. M. Williams erasing something from one of the repoit books, and asked what business Mr WilliamB had to interfere with what had passed at the committee meeting. Alderman Williams I have a perfeot right to make an alteration before the report is read, but not afterwards, Mr Hopkins. I SMALL AGRICULTURAL HOLDINGS. Tke Town Clerk read a communication from Mr C. F. Baker, parliamentary agent, with respect to the above, but nothing was dene in the matter. Tn. BELLMAN. Alderman James pointed out that the old bellman would not be able to resume his duties again, and Suggested that they should advertise for another. The Mayor pointed out that Jenkins had been appointed up to the first of May, and it was event- ually decided, on the motion of Alderman James, seconded by Mr W. Thomas, that they should advertise for applicants, the duties to commence from the beginning of May. It was thrown out as a suggestion that the bell- man should have the benefit of the bill-posting, but nothing definite was done with regard to this. GENERAL PURPOSES COMMITTEE. The Town Clerk read the following report from this committee :— "Minutes of a meeting of the general purposes committee held at the Corporation offices, Friday, the 1st day of April, 1892.- Advertising: Your com- mittee recommend that the advertisement I of the town in certain London and. proTinciaJ papers be repeated during the season of 1892, and they ask that the Council will grant them a sum not exceeding £ 100 to meet the expense. The Town Clerk was requested to communicate with Mr Aslett, the general manager of the Cambrian Railways, with a view to his meeting the committee with reference to tke advertisements, and also with rpfererce to his meeting the committee on the subject of the train service j in connection with the postal service. Your committee further recommend that a weather report be inserted in the following papers, viz., Standard, Daily News, Globe, St James's Gazette, Morning Post, and also in a publication called the Telegraphic New*.—Band Your com- mittee recommend the engagement of the Briton Band during the ensuing seasen, the engagement to continue during the pleasure of the council. The terms are as foliews: A band of eight performers to play at places selected by the committee each morning for two hours, and each evening to be increased to not less than 15 performers, to play for two hours on the Marine-parade and Victoria-terrace. This arrangement will during the actual engagement of the band entail an expenditure of J214 17a Od. The band engaged is not to solicit subscriptions or dona- tiolim.-Minstrele An application by Mr Tom Wood was considered, and your committee recommend that the application be granted under certain condi- tions, one of which will be that the minstrels shall not perform on the Marine-parade during the time the Town bandit performing there." The adoption of the report was taken in parts. With reference to the weather reports, it was decided that the Town Clerk should communicate with the Press Association respecting the same, it being stated by Mr Morgan that he understood that Association circulated the weather reports gratui- tously in their services. The Town Clerk said he had been in communication With Mr Aslett respecting the advertising, and had received the following letters which he read:— "Dear Sir,—With reference to the last paragraph of your letter of the 2nd inst., I note that your general purposes committee desire to discuss the question of an improved service for the conveyance of the Post Office mails with me when I am next at Aberystwyth. I may state that our agreement with the Post Office, comes to an end on the 30th of June next, and I hope between now and then that an opportunity will arise for negotiations to be opened with the Post Office the result of which would I hope enable this company to give you the better service you ask for. As already stated in my former letter, I will fix this interview at the earliest possible date. Y ours faithfully ÂLF 0 ABLETT." On the 4th he received the following letter Dear Sir, I am in receipt of your letter of the 2nd inst and until this Company's rates and Charges Bill is Confirmed by the Joint Committee of the Lords and Commons I am precluded from making any public appointment. I hope however that in the course of a few days our Bill will pass the committee, and I shall then be pleased to arrange to meet your general purposes committee in order to discuss this matter." Mr Morgan observed that £ 5,500 was the amount pat down to be paid to the Cambrian Railways for conveying the mails next year. inspecting the selection of a band for the season the Town Clerk remarked that he had received a letter from Mr Jack Edwards, the bandmaster of toe Excelsiors, bearing on the question, and at «se request of tho council he read the same. it was a very lengthy communication, in the *u»Kfe °- I Edwards stated that owing to a I.-? + his band did not send in a 4-h Air lost r^fn+r PurPOBeB committee in time for which wereenclosel One Wai te*?e™ naririxaa in 6 WaS S1*nply Offering their ThTseoondwas CLWa,y-a8 they ^st Reason. ma sn^esteTbv a similar band to the one suggested by the Briton Band, but thev nm. STttSraSiS 'I'S,™or"? S. lne tnirrt tander was for an oichestial band which would consist of sorne six or seven prof esslonals In conclusion the letter stated that in order to correct certain rumours they wished it to be unde.stood that they had not been in communication with Mr Worsnip S wLi tn lUmTrV^they ha* therefore nethmg whatever to do with the application he had sent in. Mr William Thomas asked for some explanation on the matter, whereupon. The Mayor and Mr T. W. Powell, who had been deputed by the committee to see the leaders of the two bands, explained the position of affairs. They Pointed out that they saw both parties and explained *o them what was wanted. Mr Edwards verbally his|price and Mr D. Jones and Mr J, H. Bewe, on of the other band, sent in their terms in Toting. There was considerable difference in the Bnd consequently they reoommended the •etion uf the Briton Band. out LTO thought the application just read was If having arrived at a decision. "atrn li n they might have two or three w tb« next meeting. Mr D. C. Roberts said he understeod that Mi Edwards gave his price to the Mayor and Mr Powell, and asked if such was the case. Mr Powell replied that he distinctly understood so, and it was on that understanding they came to the conclusion they did. The whole of the report was adopted. HARBOUR COMMITTRA. Mr George Green read the following :—" Minutes of a meeting of the harbour committee i Rofawr on Wednesday, March 30th, present D. C. Roberts, W. Thomas, J. Jenkins, J. v Robert Doughton, Isaac Hopkins, G. Green, obair. man, the surveyor and harbour master.—Your eom. mittee inspected the bed of the river in the harbour, which Ishowl a tendency of undermining the Rofawr quay wall, and with a view of diverting the course of the river at that spot, your committee recommend that the stone groyne at the outfall of the sewer be lengthened by about 15 feet, and also a short groyne made above the Trefechan bridge. Mr Green, in moving the adoption of the report, remarked that it was very necessary to have that work done. Mr W. Thomas, who seconded the proposition, said it would be money well spent Mr Hepkins said he leeked after the interests of the town but more particularly the health of the town. Let them see to that first before throwing money away on the harbour, and he gave notice that he Iwould move a resolution at the next meet- ing to alter the town sewer so as to prevent the nuisance new caused opposite Penmaesglas-road, which nuisance would not be allowed to remain in front of the Terrace for one day. Therel was a great deal of noise about the injustice done to Ireland nowadays, but for himself he thought it would be much better for them to look at home first, and commence at Jerusalem (roars of laughter and cries of "Oh. oh. ") Mr Hopkins Yes, you can say" Ob," but I mean it. Alderman Williams I appeal to you Mr Mayor. Has this anything to do with the Council ? Mr W. Thomas Do we as a rule get speeches with notices of motion I think not. Alderman Jones remarked that Mr Hopkins could hand his notice to the Town Clerk, who would see that it was placed on the agenda, for the next meet- ing. Referring to the recommendation of the com- mittee to spend a sum of money on the harbour, Mr Jones said he would like to have some information as to the actual outlay contemplated on the work. He pointed out the heavy liability incurred on the harbour, and thought it advisable not to spend any more money on it if it was possible to prevent it, but of oourse if the work was imperative they must have it done. Mr Green attributed the present state of the bar. bour ohiefiy to the pier, remarking that if it had been carried some 150 feet further ont instead of the half sort of work that had been done on it, the har- bour would be of some use. An it was at present no vessels would come there. When they wanted to turn they had to be very careful or they would be on the gravel immediately. If the pier was longer that would not be the case, and the result would be that they would have more traffic. It was a very impor- tant question, and should be taken into their serious consideration. The Mayor asked if Mr Green could give them some idea as to the prolbable cost of the work now proposed to be done. Mr Green said he knew very well what it would cost, but their Surveyor might say t5G or more. Alderman James suggested that they should defer the matter for the present as there was plenty of time before the end of the summer. Mr Green said it was quite possible that the quay wall would fall if it was allowed to remain in its present state much longer. The river had under- minedlit so much that they could see the foundation. In his opinion.;Clo or X12 would be sufficient to do what the committee recommended. Mr Mathias did not think there was any immediate hurry for having the work done. Mr D. C. Roberta did not wish it to go out of the council that the reason for the heavy debt on the har- bour was owing to the pier not having been pro- jected far enough into the sea, because as a matter of fact that was not the case. He believed that too much was paid for the harbour in the first place when it was bought from the trustees, and that together with other matters had helped to put them in the position they were in. He did not think more than some two or three hundred pounds had been ex- pended on the groynes and jetties. Mr Themas said they only proposed to do what the council had sanctioned before. They had decided to have a groyne above the bridge before and they also voted money to improve the other groyne, but it had not been carried enough into the river. Mr Hopkins again interrupted, and referred to the sewer running into the harbour, his remarks being received with cries of chair," &o., but Mr Hopkins took no heed, and continued his remarks, saying I hold a copy ofithe standing orders in my hand, and according to this I have a right to speak to the question. At the same time I will give notice, Mr Mayor, that at the next meeting I will move a resolution rescinding number nine of the standing orders, so that every member of the council may have freedom of speech, and not be bound to a limited discussion. I will also move that we do away with all our committees entirely. or that we leave the reporters come there and report the carryings on of the committees, as the way that they are carried on is in my opinion nothing but a pack ofhumbwg" (roars of laughter). Proceeding with the business befoie the meeting, Mr Griffith Williams said he could see no harm in deferring the matter for a short time. Alderman Roberts feared that if they lengthened the groyne above the bridge it would run the river against the butment of the bridge on the Tre- fechan side, and do considerable damage. In his epinioa he thought it preferable to leave the groynes as they were, because they were quietly doing their work now. The coars6 of the river had been changed, and the river did not run near the quay wall. Mr Doughton agreed with Alderman Roberts, re- marking that he had used the speech that he thought of making (laughter). M r Tlioruas: Bat you did not vote that way on the last occasion. Mr Doughton I did not vote at all. It was eventually decided to defer the matter for the present. PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE. Alderman Jones read the following reports from this committee:— Minutes of a meeting of the public works committee held on the 19th of March, present MessrajW. H. Palmer, mayor, C. M. Williams, W.:Thomas, J. Mathias, Isaac Hopkins, J. Morgan, and Peter Jones, chairman.—Marine- terrace: Your committee instructed the bor ough surveyor to widen the esplanade opposite Rock House and roadway leading tethe beach. Penbryn House: Your comittee visited these premises and instructed the borough surveyor to make the necessary arrangements for the disposal of the old materials by public auction.—Bay windows your committee regret being unable to recommend the granting of Mr E. Owen's application for permission to place a bay window in William-street owing to the width of the street being only 15 feet. The report was adopted. A meeting of this committee was held at the Corporation offices on the 28th ult., present Mr w mf' may°r, Alderman C. M. Williams, Messrs W. Thomas' J. Mathias, J. Jenkins, Isaac Hopkins, Peter Jones, chairman, and the surveyor. Plascrog: Your committee instructed the borough surveyor to have a portion of the stones from Pen- bryn house carted to Plascrng walk, and recom- mend that instructions be given for the building of a culvert from the entrance to Plascrng to the junction at Parkydoll. The estimated cost is £ 15 Manure heap: Instructions were also given for cart- ing a sufficient quantity of stones for the raising of the wall abutting the manure heap. Main sewer The Surveyor was instructed to invite tenders for widening the main, sewer in the field near the gas works. Mr Hopkins asked what drain they intended covering up in Plascrng. Was it sewage or clean water ? Mr John James It is elean water. Mr Hopkins Well then.- MrC. M. Williams: It is not clean water. The people living in Poplar-row and round there throw everything into it. Mr Hopkins Where everything is clean you go and cover it up, but at Tanycae, where the serwage of the town comes out, you do nothing. You would rather have fevers break out at Penmaeserlas than do anything for them. Mr James Dont speak like that of Penmaasglas or you will have no one to go there. Mr Hopkins That will be the end of it if yeu don't do something. Mr Doughton Penmaeaglas is the healthiest part of the town. The Mayor Several children have fallen into this place, Mr Hopkins. Mr Morgan Has anyone been drowned there at all. A vote was then taken and [the report was adopted. Minutes of a meeting of the public works com- Bittee held on the 2nd April, present Mr W. H. Palmer, mayor, Messrs C. M. Williams, G. Green, J. Jenkins, J. Morgan, W. Thomas, Peter Jones, chair- man, and the Surveyor. Your committee recommend that the lessee of the stone quarry on Brjrnymor* road be requested to eart the debris from the quarry to the site of the Old Baths 8>*> as to raise the same te the level of the roadway. Flagging Resolved that the flaarging be continued from the south end of the terraee to the Queen's Hotel and that the height of the parapet wall be reduced to about three feet from the surface.—Sea View-place Resolved that the remainder of the stones from the old bath be placed near t he old saw mills for the purpose of erecting a retaining wall to widen the approaoh at the junction of Sea View-place to the new road lead- ing to Rofawr. Alderman Jones, on whose proposition the report was adopted, remarked that Mr D. C. Roberts was required to allow a roadway of thirty feet in front of the Terrace, but be had built the wall fifty feet off, so that there was more space than was atipulated for. Alderman James asked if it was not possible for them to try to make some arrangement with Mrs Rice Williams with a view of allowing Mrs Pugh to remain in her house for the summer. It seemed a pity to turn her out just as the season began. Perhaps Mra Williams would consent to wait a while if she was seen by a few members of the council. After some conversation it was decided that the Mayer, Alderman Williams and Mr D. C. Roberts should visit Mrs Williams in the matter. Mr Thomas asked if the quarry proprietors pro. posed oarting the debris to the site of the old baths gratuitously, Mr Peter Jones understood that that was so, but should they ask te be compensated the matter would came before the council before anything would be done The report was adopted. Alderman Jones then read the following report from the same committee Minutes of a meeting held on the 2nd April: Penbryn House Your committee visited the site of Penbryn House with a view to suggesting the further work necessary, having regard to the demolition of Penbryn House. Unrier all the circumstances your committee recommend that concrete pavement be continued from the Marine-terrace northward to the iron railings and that the sea wall be lowered to a height of from three feet to three feet six inches and that no further work be done at the place this season. The report was adopted. Mr Morgan threw out a suggestion to the members of the cemmittee that they should consider the ques- tion of paving Carporation-fctreet at their next meet- ing. Alderman Jones remarked that there was some difficulty in getting the consent of one of the owners for the removal of a parapet wall, and a couple of members were deputed to see the party when she visits the town. TENDERS. The tender of Mr Daniel Edwards, Mill-street, for opening up the sewer near the gas works was accepted on the proposition of Mr John James, seconded by Mr Peter Jones. Mr Edwards' tender, which was the only one received, amounted to £ 37 4s Od. PUBLIC LIBRARY COMMITTEE. Alderman Williams read the following report: Minutes of a meeting of the library oommittee held at the Assembly Rooms on Saturday, April 2nd, present Mr W. H. Palmer, mayor, Messrs T. W. Powell, J. Morgan, D. Samuel, M.A., T. Owen, and Alderman Williams, chairman. Books issued to borrowers: The number of books given out to borrowers during the month of March was 2,194.

The eommittee also recommended little improvements in the portion of the Town Hall occupied by the hall- keeper." Mr Hopkins remarked that he was not present at this committee because he did not receive notice. Mr Morgan You are not a member. Mr Hopkins I was appointed a member of every committee. Refer to the resolution. Mr Morgan But this is a special committee. Alderman Jones We can only place a certain number on this committee. Mr D. C. Roberts: Never mind Mr Hopkins. I don't think any of the members will object to you attending the meeting (laughter). Mr Hopkins: Thank you. Alderman Williams thought j830 too little for the billiard table. Mr Roberts I don't think so. Mr Hopkins: We want tables very badly for the meat market. Won't it do for that (laughter). Alderman Williams We are not quite so extrava- gant as to do that with it.

The report was adopted. FINANCE COMMITTEE. Mr D. C.

A DIFFICULTY ABOUT A CHAPEL…
A DIFFICULTY ABOUT A CHAPEL LEASE AT LLANBRYNMAIR. A difficulty haa arisen respecting the lease of the old Calvinistio Methodist chapel at Bont. Llaubryn- mair. The caitse at this place was started in 1789, when Howel Harris first visited North Wales. The first chapel was built in 1767, and the present edifice was erect-d on th., same spot in 182.. In 1859 a fresh lease for 99 years was granted by Mrs Seymour Davies, then of Highmead, Cardiganshire, now of London, a native of LLanbrynmair, and mother of Colonel Davies-Evans, Lord-Lieutenant of eardiganshire. A year 1C0 it was determined te repair the chapel at » cost of about JB900, plans were prepared, promises received for about Y.700, and the people were ready to put the work in hand by the end of June, when a communication was received from the landlady's solicitors stating that the lease was invalid, as her marrimge settlement prohibited the granting of leases for more than 21 years that they had no ritcht to enlarge or build; that they were but tenants from year to year, and liable to be I evicted after six months' notice. Without admitting the existence of any flaw in the lease the landlady was earnestly entreated either to execute another deed,' correcting such flaw, if any existed, or to sell the freehold to them. But it was all in vain, except that an offer was made by the lady of a 20 years' le se, accompanied with conditions whiuh, the rent expeoted, wera so unreasonably hard that it was impossible to entertain them. On September 25th formal notice was received to quit in six menths. nam ly, on Maroh 25th, 1892. During all these months the lady refused to receive a deputation from the monthly meeting, viz., Messrs E. Davies, Llandinam R. Wildams, solicitor, Newtown; and Dauiel Howell Llaxbrynmair, appointed for the purpose of coming to satisfactory terms, and she also refused to reply to ..n applioation which was made to her for conditions less stringent than those referred toboye. On the 25th ult., the lady'A a,ent, Mr Harries, arrived from Carmarthenshire to take pos>ession of the chapel, buiidiugs, and the land pertaining to it. He was, however, politely refused the keys, on the grounds t ixt the lady by her own legal seL has no right to them for at least 67 years to come; that the prohibition in her marriage settle- J ment should have beeu better known to her than ■ to the chapel people; and also that the monthly I meeting had warned the latter not to give up the lawful property of the cemmunion. Such are the leading facts of this unhappy affair. History, it is said, repeats itself. May attempts have been made in the p «st to -tiflo Noncon formity at Llanbrynmair, j especially on the departure hence of the Three Brothers of Messed memory but in spite of all the I cause has prospered. The history of Nonconformity at Llanbrynmair forms a curious and interesting chapter in the religions history of Wales. Nonconformity was pro- bably roeced earlier in this mountainous district than in any spot in Nor, h Wales. On his first visit in 1739 Howel Harris praao tad in the parish, and formed the nucleus of a small churoh. The Inde- pendents had had a church there for some years before this, to which the Rev Lewis Rees had ministered since the yosr prior to Howel Harris's visit, and Rees was succeeded by Riohard Tibbot. At Llanbrynmair in those days there was but little difference between the Independents and the Methodists, and the tw-, evangelists before mentioned were as much welcomed in the pulpits of the Methodists and Baptists as in those of their own denominations. The sectarian tares which have sprung up in Wales during the last half of his eentuary were sown by the Controversialists of the first half. Through the instrumentality of Mr Howel Harris, in 173!J, three brothers named Howell, and one Richard Humphreys, were converted. The e men were the fathers of Methodism in the parish of Llanbrynmair. The church worshipped in various dwelling houses from 1739 to 17!;9, when the chapel now in dispute was built. A better instance of the loving labour and strong faith of the old Welsh Non- conformitts cannot be found than the account of the struggles of the Llanbrynmair brethren given in the History of Welsh Methodism." Whilst overcoming by degrees the various obstaoles thrown in the way by the parson and the landowners, the poor little congregation was in a state of fear and trembling as to the success of the work. In the midst of this doubting and anxiety Richard Howell planted a shoot of holly in a hedge adjoining the chapel,saying to him- self, that if it grew he should regard it as an omen of the success of the cause. The holly grew and the work prospered. k holly tree of its size is not often seen, its height being 40 feet. Planted under extraordinary circumstances it has been blessed with an extra- ordinary growth, and stands to-day probably as a memorial of old Richard Howell's faith and of the goodness of his Master. This then is the chapel- enlarged in 1820-to take possession of which Mrs Davies's agent travelled all the way from Carmarthen- shire on the 25th ult. Doubtless this edifice cost Richard Howell and his contemporaries much anxiety, labour, and even tesrs.
